In the mid-’90s, Carl’s Jr. had a catchy slogan: “If it doesn’t go everywhere, it doesn’t belong in your face.” This one-liner resonated well and made messy burgers a hit. Fast forward to 2024 and we’ve left the chaos of the ’90s behind. Now there’s a new burger that promises a clean experience, perfect for on-the-go or for anyone who doesn’t want to struggle with a meal on 10 napkins.
Enter Less Mess Burgers, a food truck in Glendale, California that’s been making waves online for its unconventional, UFO-shaped burgers that are designed to revolutionize burger taste. At first glance, you might think the Less Mess Burger is a new flavor from Uncrustables. But after one bite, you realize this concept is more than just a gimmick. The functional design locks all the sauce and juiciness into the toasted shell of a traditional burger bun.
The alien concept came about after owner Ruben had a disastrous experience while trying to enjoy a burger in his car. The hassle of reaching for napkins in his glove compartment while driving and trying to prevent his food from staining his clothes gave him an idea. Necessity breeds innovation, and this led Ruben to search for a unique kitchen appliance to bring his vision to life.
After developing a device that essentially works like a waffle iron—without the waffle grid and with a hollow dome in its place—Less Mess Burgers became a reality. In addition to the burgers, guests can also look forward to grilled chicken sliders and stuffed fries.
If you’re looking for the truth about a clean UFO-shaped burger, you can stop by Less Mess Burgers, 1222 N Central Ave, Glendale, CA 91203, right in front of Ralphs grocery store.
